Officially licensed by the NHL, Franchise Hockey Manager 4 packs even more features than any of its predecessors, and takes the series to a whole new level in terms of realism and gameplay.

Franchise Hockey Manager 4 also contains every single team and season in the long history of the NHL, an unprecedented amount of content.


FHM 4 boasts these features:

  • 2017-18 team rosters: Take over a team in one of over 24 playable leagues that feature real current rosters based on countless hours of detailed research into player ratings. In addition to the National Hockey League® license, which gives FHM 4 real logos, uniforms, and histories for all 31 teams, the game features North American minor leagues, Canadian major junior leagues, and multiple levels of European hockey leagues.
  • Vegas, baby!: Yes, you can roll the dice with the new NHL® expansion team, the Vegas Golden Knights™. Take control of the team as it was built through the expansion draft or return those players to their original teams and remake the Golden Knights™ according to your strategic vision.
  • Unprecedented customization: FHM 4 features even more ways to set up a league. In additional to pre-configured structures, choose the number of conferences and divisions in your league, its schedule length, and the number of teams.
  • The most hockey ever: Travel as far back as the 1917-18 season and enjoy historically accurate rosters, including the early major leagues in western Canada! FHM 4 puts more hockey history at your fingertips than any game ever released. In addition, try one of FHM 4’s 30 new historical challenges (one per NHL team) and see if you can repeat, or improve on, such successes as Montreal’s 1950s dynasty, Philadelphia’s 1970s expansion wins, and Vancouver’s wild ride to the 1982 Stanley Cup® Final!
  • Challenge Mode: You can also put your hockey smarts to the test in the modern day with Challenge Mode, a new twist that pushes you to compete and win even when the odds are stacked against you. It’s a spin on the popular Path to Glory Mode, which is now available in every aspect of FHM 4.
  • Commissioner Mode: You can now take the top-level view in all game types and make changes as you see fit.
  • Staggering detail & Many more new features include:
